    Mavis

    She is so beautiful. We have a cavalier and would love to have given her a home but our Edith is happier sharing us with our boy lab than other girls. They are such loyal cuddle dogs. Congratulations.

    Maggot problems

    I used to wash our old boys sheath area daily with dilute Dettol. It built up quite a strong antiseptic smell and seemed to prevent him being attractive to maggot flies. Used it on the sheep too after the odd patch of strike.

    Dog Needing A Home

    Saving Cavaliers UK on fb may be a way to go. They are great at rehoming or placing in foster. We have a cavalier bitch but sadly she prefers boys too.

    Chicken fleas!

    Diatomous earth is your friend. I use newspaper in the nest boxes and and a good hand full on top. Lots of it on the perches and coop floor. Not had red mite or lice on the girls in 3 years on this routine. I buy it off ebay. Before that I was forever creosoting the pens inside and out.

    Insurance, savings, credit card options for dogs

    We lost our cavi this week, he was only 6 and his premium had risen to £94 a month. We used to insure the labs and actually we had a claim for £3900 for a piece of bone stuck in one of our girls throat. We will not insure any future pets. Our lovely cavi was with Manypets, claims are currently...

    Lameness

    So sorry, we lost an elderly westie in the summer with bone cancer. She was only with us for a few months but was a much loved member of our family.

    Help! Dog insurance

    Our three outstanding claims have been done exactly this way with paid receipts attached. The claims total less than £300 added together. We received a standard email acknowledgement stating claims are taking over 6-8 weeks. Something has obviously changed as our first small claim was paid...

    Help! Dog insurance

    We have our cavalier insured with Many Pets. Not at al impressed with their claim handling. We have three claims being processed for repeat heart meds. Its been nine weeks and not a single one settled. We have been with Tesco in the past, they were great.
